Description

Bioart in Space: Ontological-Existential Dimensions of a Biocentered Experience of Space explores the ontological distinction between technologically mediated and biologically centered experiences of space. This presentation investigates how the nature of experience itself can become a foundational question for organizing both the conceptual and material frameworks of artistic practice in outer space. Through the analysis of key projects by Luis Guzmán—Bioarchitecture CosmoEcology (2020–2025), The Angel of History (2025), and Migrante/Alienígena (2025)—the talk will trace the development of a multi-scalar exploration of the cosmos. Guzmán will articulate the philosophical, material, and technological dimensions of his work, positioning biology not only as a medium but as a mode of being-in-space.
